I can't wait to have my non-student section overrun with students standing up in our view because it isn't cool being up in the balcony and BC is too lazy to do some work. Happens every year in the first game of the season.

Me thinks that may have been a closer game if the second CC goalie had been the first CC goalie.

I like this team very much. They play BC hockey as we have known it in years past. Hustle their butts off, strong along the boards and in the corners. Hard workers. Not a lot of glitter, just solid hard nosed hockey.
Anyone else notice there were very few icing calls tonight? Short crisp passes on the tape much more effective than homerun passes that miss the mark by 5 feet. Some of those drop passes however, to no one, leave a lot to be desired. They are the source of most of the opponent's odd man rushes so far this young season. That'll get fixed.
We have 3 good goaltenders. Will one of them rise above the others?
#6 this year is like a clone of #6 from the last few years. The kid don't take no chit and cleans up the front of the net.
Lots of new faces with old numbers and a few old faces with new numbers. Gotta learn the roster, quick... was looking down at the program all night.
I have no expectations at this point. The jury is still out on how they'll perform against better competition, although after their recent performances at Denver and Wisconsin, I think this team can hold their own against the iron. Jerry has had success with teams similar to this one. Looking forward to see how high these Eagles can soar.

PC top center hasn't played this year and rumors are his first game will be on Friday. He already has a WJC gold medal so he is pretty good.
